Hi, The recent introduction of heaps in the optee driver [1] made possible the creation of heaps as modules.
It's generally a good idea if possible, including for the already existing system and CMA heaps. The system one is pretty trivial, the CMA one is a bit more involved, especially since we have a call from kernel/dma/contiguous.c to the CMA heap code. This was solved by turning the logic around and making the CMA heap call into the contiguous DMA code. Let me know what you think, Maxime 1: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/[email protected]/ Signed-off-by: Maxime Ripard <[email protected]> --- Maxime Ripard (7): dma: contiguous: Turn heap registration logic around mm: cma: Export cma_alloc and cma_release mm: cma: Export cma_get_name mm: cma: Export dma_contiguous_default_area dma-buf: heaps: Export mem_accounting parameter dma-buf: heaps: cma: Turn the heap into a module dma-buf: heaps: system: Turn the heap into a module drivers/dma-buf/dma-heap.c | 1 + drivers/dma-buf/heaps/Kconfig | 4 ++-- drivers/dma-buf/heaps/cma_heap.c | 21 +++++---------------- drivers/dma-buf/heaps/system_heap.c | 5 +++++ include/linux/dma-map-ops.h | 5 +++++ kernel/dma/contiguous.c | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++-- mm/cma.c | 3 +++ 7 files changed, 46 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 499a718536dc0e1c1d1b6211847207d58acd9916 change-id: 20260225-dma-buf-heaps-as-modules-1034b3ec9f2a Best regards, -- Maxime Ripard <[email protected]>
